All Sales by Oliner Fibre and all Offers to Sell are subject to
our standard terms and conditions of sale:
1. SHIPMENTS
- SELLER shall not be liable for any losses claimed
resulting from delay in shipment of the goods after the date
of shipment specified
in this Acknowledgment. CUSTOMER agrees to accept any quantities
shipped under this Acknowledgment which do not vary by more
than ten percent from the agreement amount and to pay for
such quantities at the agreement price.
2. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
- Title to the goods herein described,
together with the risk of loss and damage to said goods, shall
pass to CUSTOMER upon delivery of said goods to a carrier at
SELLER'S plant, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary,
including but not limited to any agreement to pay freight, express,
or other transportation or insurance charges.
3. PAYMENT AND PRICES - Terms
of payment by CUSTOMER are of the essence of this agreement. In
the event of failure by CUSTOMER to
make any payment when due, SELLER may decline to make further
shipments until such default is cured. In the alternative, SELLER
may elect to continue to make shipments despite the continuance
of such default but such election by SELLER shall in no way constitute
a waiver of such default nor affect SELLER'S legal remedies therefore.
In the event that any invoice is not paid when due, CUSTOMER
shall pay SELLER interest on the balance due from the date of
the invoice until fully paid at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1 -1/2 %) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable
law, whichever rate is less. CUSTOMER also agrees to pay the
attorney's fees and expenses incurred by SELLER in enforcing
the terms of this Agreement.

DUTIES AND CLEARANCE EXPENSES - CUSTOMER assumes full
responsibility for reporting and paying all taxes, however
designated, or other governmental charges based upon or in
connection with the sale of goods herein, including state and
local privilege, sales, use, or excise taxes based upon gross
revenue or any taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or payable
by SELLER in respect of the foregoing exclusive, however, of
taxes paid on net income. SELLER'S invoice may include any
such taxes and any expense incurred by SELLER in shipping the
goods to the destination specified by CUSTOMER.
5. FREIGHT
AND INSURANCE - In the event SELLER is to pay
freight, it shall have the right to designate the means of
transportation and routing, but in the event CUSTOMER desires
to a more expensive means of transportation or routing, CUSTOMER
shall pay any extra cost involved. CUSTOMER shall insure the
goods described herein (if sold for shipments outside the United

port-of-destination, and SELLER shall be named as a loss payee
or the proceeds of such insurance shall be assigned to SELLER.

IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH
RESPECT TO THE GOODS.
7. LIMITATION
OF REMEDIES - SELLER'S entire obligation and
CUSTOMER'S exclusive remedy shall be, at SELLER'S sole choice,
to either repair or replace any defective goods that do not

prior written approval. Any replacement goods will be warranted
for the remainder of the original Limited Warranty period

CONTRIBUTION, OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S LIABILITY
EXCEED THE PAYMENTS ACTUALLY MADE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE GOODS.

to or receipt by CUSTOMER of any shipment of goods and before
any part of such goods
has been changed from its original condition, CUSTOMER shall
inform SELLER in writing if said goods are found defective
or short in any respect. CUSTOMER shall be deemed to have
accepted the goods and SELLER shall be deemed to have satisfactorily
performed its obligations unless CUSTOMER provides such timely
notice.
10. TERMINATION
- SELLER may suspend or terminate this agreement
if CUSTOMER becomes unable to meet its obligations as they
mature, or if
any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is
brought by or against CUSTOMER, or if a receiver for CUSTOMER
is appointed or applied for or if any assignment for the
benefit of creditors is made by CUSTOMER or if CUSTOMER'S
financial condition leads SELLER to believe that CUSTOMER
will be unable to pay for the goods when due and CUSTOMER
is unable to provide SELLER with any necessary assurances
that the goods will be paid for when due.
